Welcome to first and 10, a roundup of all the (mostly) Patriots-related news you need to start your day:
One quick shoutout before the Friday links -- shout-out to Adam Vinatieri, who signed for another year with the Colts on Thursday. Vinatieri has done so much over the course of his career, but one of our favorite moments came in 1996 when he ran down Herschel Walker on a kickoff.
1. What’s a realistic level of expectation for Julian Edelman in 2018? Lots of good comparisons here, and some good discussion in the comments. I feel like there are similarities between Edelman and Jordy Nelson’s situation, while others have argued for the Keenan Allen comp. What are your thoughts?
2. Miguel looks at the incentives that were earned by the 2017 Patriots.
3. We wrap up the 2017 position-by-position review with a look at the secondary, which was never dull.
4. And the special teamers. Are the Patriots going to make any changes here come the offseason?
